Liu Sanniang smiled. Of course her mother was innocent. She started helping her clean the vegetables.

She had heard the truth with her own ears.

When she thought of what she had heard, Liu Sanniang still felt terrified. She did not know what kind of person could do such a ruthless thing. It was blatant murder.

“Sanniang, my mother also said that Liu Cheng’s wife was a fool. She was very pitiful. Even when she was pregnant for ten months, she was still skin and bone.”

Liu Yinniang sighed. Being a woman was really hard. After getting married, it was good if the husband’s family was kind. But if the husband’s family was cruel, life would be unbearably miserable.

Liu Sanniang also sighed. “The human heart is unpredictable.”

She didn’t get married in her previous life because of being traumatized by two evil men.

In her previous life, Liu Shun was considered to be a good person. Liu Sanniang did not expect him to be so bad as to instigate his cousin to kill his wife while she was pregnant with his child.

Liu Sanniang was terrified. What could she do to make Madam Wei reject Liu Shun?

Liu Sanniang was extremely afraid of Liu Shun. She did not want to marry him at all.

After breakfast, Madam Bai went to work.

Since Liu Sanniang had nothing to do, Liu Yinniang suggested. “Sanniang, why don’t we embroider together?”

Liu Sanniang thought for a moment and nodded. “Okay, wait for me. I’ll go back and get the material.”

The two families were not far apart, so Liu Yinniang waited at home.

Liu Sanniang went home after leaving the house. It would take at least a few days for Madam Wei to settle this matter. In the next few days, her father and brothers would be very busy. She stayed at Liu Yinniang’s house and waited for her father to bring her mother back.

Liu Sanniang took the material and was about to leave.

A man’s voice came from outside the door. “Is Uncle Liu home?”

This voice.

Liu Sanniang’s heart skipped a beat. She remembered this voice. It was Liu Shun, who had helped his cousin murder his wife. Liu Sanniang felt a chill running down her back when she heard Liu Shun’s voice.

Now that Liu Shun had come to her house, she did not know what to do.

“Uncle Liu, are you home?”

Liu Shun looked at the lock and knew that there was someone at home. However, no one answered. He narrowed his eyes and knew that the men of the Liu family were not at home. If Madam Wei was arrested and sent to the government, the only person at home would be Liu Sanniang.

Liu Shun pushed open the door.

Liu Sanniang frowned and barely suppressed the disgust in her heart. She said flatly, “My father is out. If there’s anything that you want to tell him, come back another day.”

As she spoke, Liu Sanniang walked towards the door, closed it, and locked it.

Liu Sanniang turned around and was shocked to see Liu Shun so close to her. “You…”

She subconsciously took a step back and glared at Liu Shun angrily. Pointing her finger at him, Liu Sanniang opened her mouth to curse, but she couldn’t utter a word.

Liu Shun smiled warmly at Liu Sanniang and took a step back. He said humbly and politely, “Sorry, I didn’t know you would suddenly turn around.”

Liu Sanniang was both angry and speechless. She glared at Liu Shun and stomped her feet before leaving. She could not be bothered to argue with such a person. She felt annoyed just looking at him.

Liu Sanniang carried the small basket and walked away quickly.

Liu Shun looked at Liu Sanniang’s back and narrowed his eyes. Liu Sanniang, the dream of his life…

He would do everything just to get her.

Liu Shun smiled when he recalled how Liu Sanniang was glaring at him just now. Her body had a nice fragrance, and she looked like a flower in bloom.

Liu Sanniang quickened her pace and returned to Liu Yinniang’s house. Liu Sanniang did not take the encounter with Liu Shun to heart because she knew that nothing was going to happen between them.

In the evening, Mr. Liu returned and thanked Madam Bai gratefully. He still had to go and make some arrangements.

Liu Dalang and Liu Erlang also had things to do on the farm.

Liu Sanniang knew that she was not very capable. She was not a strong woman to begin with. It was best for her to take good care of herself and not let her father worry.

Therefore, during the day, she would embroider and help Liu Yinniang cook. At night, she would sleep in Liu Yinniang’s house.

While the Liu family was busy settling the matter for Madam Wei, Liu Cheng was not idle either.

At night, a few meows came from behind the wall. Liu Cheng immediately got up and went out. He knew that his cousin would not sit back and do nothing. If he did nothing, no one would be able to gain anything if the matter was exposed.

When Liu Cheng came out of the back door, he saw a figure around the corner. Liu Cheng walked over and said anxiously, “Brother, you’re my dear brother. What should I do now? Uncle Liu wants to sue me for murder. If this matter is exposed, I’ll be jailed.”

Liu Shun’s expression was calm. “It was originally a small thing, but you guys messed it up.”

Liu Cheng was unhappy. “Brother, you can’t blame us for this. The Liu family came too quickly and even brought so many people with them. How was I supposed to deal with them?”

Liu Shun did not want to argue with Liu Cheng. “Let me ask you, do you still want to marry Yang Hua?”

Liu Cheng nodded vigorously. “Yes, of course. I even dream about it.”

Yang Hua was fair and beautiful. His r.e.t.a.r.ded wife could not even compare to a strand of Yang Hua’s hair. He still couldn’t understand why he was willing to marry a fool in the first place.

Liu Shun said, “There’s another way now. Go and burn the entire mortuary. It’s three miles outside the town. There are only two guards guarding it at night. The guards are drunkards. Once the mortuary is on fire, that fool’s corpse will naturally be burned to ashes. When the trial begins, we just have to insist that Madam Wei did not deliver the child properly. The Liu family will have to pay for it.”

If the Liu family wasn’t going to be in a heavy debt, he wouldn’t have a chance to take advantage of them.

Liu Cheng’s legs went weak. “Brother, I… I can’t do this.”

If he burned so many corpses, wouldn’t they come back and haunt him at night?

He dared to burn the corpse of his wife because his mother had bought her. He could do whatever he wanted with his property.

However, if he burned other corpses, they would surely come back and pester him at night.

This was too scary, and he couldn’t bring himself to do it.

Liu Shun smiled. “I heard from my mother that Yang Hua’s stepmother is vicious and has already decided to marry her to a rich family as a concubine. I heard that the rich man is already 60 years old and is ruthless. Several concubines have been killed by him. This kind of marriage is pretty much just a trade. If anyone uses 50 taels of dowry…”

Before Liu Shun could finish, Liu Cheng said angrily, “No, she’s so young. How can she marry an old man?”

Liu Shun smiled. “Fifty taels is not a small sum. Yang Hua is beautiful, but fifty taels is enough to marry someone more beautiful than her.”
